From the Chinese mafia to Albanian cocaine networks and links to the 'Ndrangheta, an investigation into increasingly global crime
The Albanian mafia collaborates with the Chinese mafia and the 'Ndrangheta, creating a dominance in the markets, especially in the drug industry. The "crime story" episode of the PresaDiretta Open show on Rai3, broadcast on Sunday evening, stopped in Prato, where the "pronto moda" district has become a symbol of a system based on exploitation, tax evasion and criminal control.
It is a reality where, alongside the official economy, there is a structured crime, capable of influencing markets and territories. Investigations clearly speak of an organized Chinese mafia, increasingly entrenched.
The cameras follow the cocaine trail along the routes that connect Europe with South America, from the axis between the Albanian clans and the 'Ndrangheta to the ports of Ecuador. What is striking is the ability of these organizations to adapt. The question that arises: is it still correct to talk about the mafia as we have known it, or are we faced with more fluid and global structures?
In Prato, the Chinese district of "pronto fashion", the largest in Europe, hides a network of systemic illegality: smuggling, evasion, undeclared work and exploitation. Alongside this reality operates an organized crime that controls logistics and markets, often with increasing use of violence.
From China to Albania
There are court decisions that recognize the presence of a genuine Chinese mafia, while Attorney General Luca Tescaroli warns of an expanding criminality, capable of penetrating institutions and creating alliances with the Italian and Albanian mafias.
The narrative then shifts to the Albanian cocaine network that is expanding in Italy, where the clans collaborate with the 'Ndrangheta. PresaDiretta follows the Guardia di Finanza's Antimafia Operational Group between Brescia and Bergamo and reconstructs how the Albanian clans have become the main suppliers for the Italian mafias: reliable, invisible and able to deliver the drugs directly.
The reportage continues in Albania, in a reality of dirty money, from Tirana to Durrës: skyscrapers and resorts financed by cocaine, with organized crime infiltrated in ports, institutions and even Parliament.
The journey along international drug routes ends in Ecuador, where most of the cocaine heading to Europe and the United States departs. About 70 percent of this traffic passes through the port of Guayaquil alone, a market worth about $30 billion a year, managed by the 'Ndrangheta, Mexican cartels and the Albanian mafia.
For the first time, cameras enter the country's most dangerous prison. Finally, the testimonies of those who resist come: investigative journalists threatened with death, a Comboni nun who defies gangs, and the daughters of former presidential candidate Villavicencio, killed by gangs, who seek the truth. /Pamphlet/
